I'm moving and need to mail my ammunition to myself. I went to UPS, DHL, and Canada post and they all told me they would not ship any of my ammunition.

I'm going to Purolator and Canpar on Tuesday to figure it out last minute but I have a very bad feeling they are going to deny me service too and I'll be screwed and have to find some method of disposing of it before I fly out.

Can someone tell me what they've done in the past to ship thier ammo?


Thanks
 
I've used Purolator. And I<3M14 is right. Sometimes you have to get the supervisor to make things go. I have not shipped by Canpar but have received by them.

Talk to a supervisor at DHL. I've used them to ship ammo lots.

Its funny you say that cause he had to call his supervisor to clear up his confusion and the supervisor immediatly said no.

Hopefully Purolator will not have thier heads up thier ass and I won't have a last minute EE ad to deal with...
 
Individuals/ private sellers are legally allowed to ship ammunition to other individuals/ private buyers.

Do not ship it by Canada Post.
 
Ive shipped crates of ammo before - UPS (the items needed to be marked with a proper transport logo) Thats it.

I think CanPar may be the best bet these days

It is legal to ship ammo via courier to individuals and private buyers but, unless you have an account with the major courier companies this is not totally true.

Can Par is about the best bet for the average C-gun nutter, just do not pay to much atttention to the tracking system with Can Par.
I have had deliveries arrive before the tracking update came through.
Weird I know, but they do deliver.

and not sure if it was covered, but shipping via purolator is shipping via canada post and vice versa, and its Canada Post regualtion that they dont ship haz-mat, i was a contract truck driver for them for years and the insurance on my truck and trailer specifically pointed out that no coverage for hazardous materials existed on that policy , best bet, like many others have said, is just call canpar, when ever i order ammo or powder online, they are the ones who it comes through

and sorry if it was covered, , for some reason i`m not able to open the first page of posts on this thread
